Refinishing and Bathroom Makeovers
The bathroom is usually the smallest room in your house, yet one of the most used. It is a prime candidate for a makeover, both to add to its functionality, and also for esthetic pleasure. Bathroom sink refinishing, bathtub refinishing, refinishing bathroom cabinets, and adding, renewing or refinishing a tile floor will do wonders for your bathroom.
Maybe your bathroom looks dingy, but is still functional, so you feel that you should just bear with it until something really goes wrong. But think of how much time you spend there, and how that time will affect your mood all day. Peeling paint, water damage, and tired wallpaper need not ruin your day, any more than you need to tolerate those old or broken fixtures.
Many people remodel a bathroom simply for esthetic reasons. But like an old, but still function pair of shoes, it might be so comfortable that you can't give it up. Old shoes have a certain value as long as you don't wear them to a business meeting. But a bathroom? Nope. Let your imagine run wild, or hire a professional recommended by someone you know.
Before you start, think about what you would like. Large bathrooms are very popular now - maybe you can afford to add a few feet of new space. Or maybe you can just touch it up by doing a refinishing job on your bathtub and sink, refreshing your tile, and perhaps putting in new paint and wallpaper.
Are your cabinets worth keeping? If they are, simply refinishing them in a lighter color will give them new life. That alone can give the feel of an entire bathroom restoration. Top them off with some custom tile or a marble counter top and you will smile every time you enter the room, and so will your house guests.
Another thing you can do to transform your bathroom is to install radiant, in-floor heating during your tile refinishing project. It is not cheap to to install, but in the long run, it will save you money, and add value to your home should you ever decide to sell it.
